A Unique Opportunity in Leiden’s Historic City Centre! This bright, spacious and modern maisonette perfectly combines comfortable living with a central location. Spread over two floors, with a large east-facing roof terrace and a west-facing balcony, you can enjoy sunlight and tranquility all day long – right in the heart of the city. At the corner of Groenesteeg and Middelstegracht stands a small-scale apartment complex, of which this property forms part. The complex was built in 1988, meaning it offers significantly better insulation – both thermal and acoustic – compared to many of the older buildings in the city centre. Since purchasing the apartment in 2022, the current owners have made substantial improvements. A new kitchen and bathroom were installed, and both floors were fitted with new PVC flooring. The home also features two good-sized bedrooms, a wonderful roof terrace, and a private bicycle storage unit on the ground floor. Excellent Central Location The location couldn’t be better. On Saturdays, you can easily walk to the local market, and the Albert Heijn supermarket on the Hooigracht is also within walking distance – just like many cafés, restaurants and museums. Leiden Central Station and Leiden Lammenschans are both reachable within a ten-minute bike ride. Words from the Owners “We are a couple living here on the Groenesteeg with our 1.5-year-old son. About three and a half years ago, we moved into this maisonette in the centre of Leiden. We immediately fell for the spacious living room and the ideal location: right in the city, yet in a peaceful neighbourhood. All the neighbours make an effort to keep the street charming with plants along the façades. When we moved in, we renovated both the kitchen and the bathroom. The spacious open kitchen has become one of our favourite spots – we’ll definitely miss it. We’ve also really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere in the area, the central location, and having everything within walking distance. Now that our family is growing, we started looking for a bit more space. We’ve found a new home with a garden, which suits this next phase in our lives. We hope the new residents will enjoy this home and the neighbourhood just as much as we have!” Layout Ground Floor: Entrance gate on Groenesteeg with an intercom panel next to it. Through the gate you enter a communal courtyard with the private storage units and a staircase leading up to the apartment. Second Floor: Small gallery providing access to the apartments on this level. At the end of the gallery you’ll find this apartment. The front door opens into a hallway with a staircase and a neatly finished toilet with wall-hung WC and washbasin. The kitchen is located on the gallery side and was newly installed in 2022. It has a spacious layout with plenty of storage and countertop space, finished in a beautiful matte dark blue with a composite worktop. Naturally, it comes equipped with built-in appliances: a Bora induction cooktop with integrated extractor, Quooker tap, dishwasher, oven, fridge, and freezer. There’s also a built-in cupboard housing the central heating boiler. The living room faces the street side and is wonderfully bright and spacious. This floor features a herringbone-pattern PVC floor throughout. Third Floor: Landing with access to all rooms on this floor. At the rear, you’ll find the first bedroom, fitted with a large, recently replaced Velux skylight with external sunshade, blackout blind, and insect screen. Next to this room is the bathroom, fully renovated in 2022, equipped with a shower, washbasin, and toilet. At the front, facing the street, lies the second spacious bedroom, which opens onto the generous roof terrace offering a pleasant city view.
